I am a New York State licensed Architect experienced in residential and commercial projects. My fees start at $500 for signed drawings, then it's goes up from there with depending on project size, complexity and number of site visits just to give you an idea. Generally my professional rate works out to be about $50/hr. For design renderings, my fees start at $200 and go up depending on time and complexity, but generally work out to about $30/hr. I am a sole proprietorship with little overhead and because of that, I have very low prices compared to bigger residential firms out there. I also have a flexible schedule to get projects out in a reasonable timeframe. If you need assistance with designing your project or getting ot approved by the town, please contact me and I will get started right away!

"We decided to explore the idea of adding a covering to our deck this year, and consulted with Robert Szudzik as to what options we would have. He was honest and upfront in noting that our best option would be to remove the deck to allow for better space and clearance. We did just that, and had a concrete pad poured in its place, which gave us a larger template to work with. Given the recent events, many contractors were not available, so we decided to work on this build ourselves. Having some technical background but not as a GC, Robert's drawings helped us greatly in obtaining the necessary town permits, composing a materials list & building the structure to code. He was available to discuss questions as they came up, and offered helpful solutions when we ran into potential roadblocks. I'd highly recommend Robert Szudzik for residential or commercial projects."

16 years of experience

RAC Engineering PC was created to provide home owners and others with an affordable engineering option with down to earth personnel that communicate in every day language so you will understand the complexities of construction projects and to help you understand why building codes are required for your safety

"Avoid this company. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. We hired them to complete an addition on our home. We paid half up front, continually reached out and waited multiple weeks between each communication. When they would finally respond, their drawings did not include the features we asked for, and our feedback was not considered in future drawings. We couldn't even get them to respond when we wanted to terminate the contract. We eventually had to pay the remaining balance to avoid them placing a lien on our home. DO NOT hire this company!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.
